The news of Jiangnan starting a new book.
Spread rapidly throughout the web novel circle.
Due to the adaptation of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" into a TV series, the entertainment industry also paid close attention to this novel.
On Weibo, someone analyzed the plot.
"Jiangnan's math teacher was PE, shouldn't this be the second installment, why is it the third?"
"Who knows, maybe it was a typo when naming it?"
"I've read the first few chapters, and it doesn't have much to do with the first part. It should be an independent story."
"I think there should be a connection later, after all, that pair of jade pendants appeared earlier."
"Judging by Jiangnan's usual style, all the supporting characters in this novel will definitely die."
"Too young, you guys believe what Jiangnan says?"
"I don't quite believe it. Even if not so many people die, I think Old Jiangnan has other ways to cut people..."
"Damn, I was relieved, but seeing your analysis, I feel a chill down my spine..."
These discussions also kept the popularity of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" going.
Compared to the carnival in the web novel and film and television circles, the music scene was also in a state of celebration, as Ting Yu had no new songs during this period.
Especially after learning that Ting Yu's next city competition was likely to release a square dance song.
Mainstream producers collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
The Gu Feng (ancient style) charts saw a surge of new songs.
There was a feeling of liberation after a long period of oppression.
In an internal group for a Gu Feng producer.
It was lively at the moment.
"Damn it, are you guys on steroids? You're all waiting for this month?"
"Haha, there's only one city competition this month, and Ting Yu is likely to release a square dance song, which is a great opportunity to grab the first place on the Gu Feng chart."
"He didn't release any Gu Feng songs in the past few months, but we were afraid he would, so we didn't dare to release ours. Who knew that Ting Yu hadn't touched Gu Feng for so long, and he might not have plans to release Gu Feng songs recently."
"That's right, although that song 'Big Fish' had Gu Feng elements, it was categorized as pop music. So Ting Yu's last Gu Feng song was 'Qian Si Xi' in February, which was a long time ago!"
"Without Ting Yu on the Gu Feng charts, there is hope!!"
"Brothers, charge!! Aim for first place!"
"You guys can't beat me, I've been revising this song for months, and the quality has reached its peak!"
"Hmph, let's see."
The entire group was as if injected with chicken blood.
More than half of July had passed, and the end of the month was approaching. Ting Yu had not released any new songs, and the city competition was about to begin. Ting Yu would be competing against Liu Qiliang's square dance song, meaning Ting Yu would likely not be releasing a Gu Feng song this month.
Ting Yu had not released Gu Feng songs for several months. In this situation, this category became active again.
Many producers began releasing songs, causing frequent changes in the top ten of the Gu Feng new song charts.
Not only these people, but even Ding Sheng Entertainment made a move.
In the conference room.
Qi Shenghua's face was calm, but there was a trace of excitement in his eyes.
"Has it been released?"
He asked the head of publicity below.
The head of publicity connected the computer to the projector: "It has. We've had several ace producers collaborate on this Gu Feng song, and it's sure to be a hit. Moreover, Ting Yu is busy with the city competition against Liu Qiliang and is also busy with the casting for 'The Legend of Sword and Fairy.' This is the perfect time for us to climb the charts!"
After speaking, everyone looked at the screen.
Their song "Zhen Shang Yan" was created after consulting a vast amount of classical data to depict ancient love.
When Qi Shenghua started producing this song, he had issued an absolute secrecy order.
The purpose was to release it without making a sound.
It wasn't that they were afraid of Ting Yu and Lin Chaoyang.
It was just that Ting Yu was too bizarre.
With him around, Ding Sheng would never be able to shed the label of being the eternal runner-up.
Qi Shenghua was not a fool. Since he couldn't beat him, he would adopt a flanking strategy.
For the past few months, he had been waiting, waiting to figure out Ting Yu's song release style.
Now, he had almost figured it out: Ting Yu's songs were always in the same style as his opponents.
This time, the opponent was Liu Qiliang's square dance song, and Ting Yu was likely to release a square dance song.
After a detailed analysis by the executives, they concluded that now was the most suitable time to release this song!
"The pace of climbing the charts is good. At this speed, we'll soon catch up to the songs ahead."
The head of publicity said with satisfaction, looking at the constantly changing data on the projector.
A group of executives also showed relaxed expressions.
"I don't ask for much, just to win first place on the Gu Feng new song chart this month, and let our company hold its head high. Everyone is feeling listless now, which is not auspicious."
That's right. As popular internet songs were challenged by high-quality songs, Ding Sheng Entertainment's assembly-line method of writing formulaic songs became somewhat unworkable.
They had to transition and start focusing on quality.
By spending a large amount of financial resources to poach talent from other companies, they had barely managed to maintain their industry position.
Now, the morale of the entire Ding Sheng was low. After reorganizing the company, Qi Shenghua wanted to win a first place to bring good luck.
"Don't worry, the quality of our song this time is extremely high, and winning first place is very stable," the head of publicity guaranteed with a pat on his chest.
The several ace producers had written this song after consulting countless ancient cultures. Even a music god, with a hastily produced song, could not achieve this quality.
Moreover, this song was sung by Ding Sheng Entertainment's King of Singers, Zhu Chenlin. The song quality was high, and the singer's vocal skills were strong, making it easy to win first place.
"Don't!"
However, Qi Shenghua quickly stopped him.
These words were not to be spoken!
If they were, something bad would definitely happen.
"Don't jinx it, and don't promote it. Develop stealthily. Everyone's attention is currently on square dance music, so winning first place shouldn't cause too much of a stir. Once the charts are refreshed next month, everyone will celebrate!"
Now, not only could they not publicize it, but they also had to lower the heat.
After firmly securing the first place on the new song chart this month, they would celebrate next month.
This was the most stable method.
The head of publicity nodded quickly upon hearing this: "Okay, I'll have them control the online buzz."
...
As a large number of Gu Feng songs poured in.
The Gu Feng category also climbed to the platform's trending list.
"Holy crap, over two hundred new Gu Feng songs recently?"
"Are they crazy??"
"Did these people form a group to release songs??"
Someone noticed something was wrong.
But some people had a general idea of the reason.
"It's definitely because these people saw that Ting Yu isn't releasing Gu Feng this month and want to grab first place!"
"No way, he didn't release Gu Feng in the past few months either, and there were quite a few people releasing songs on the Gu Feng charts. The first place in the past few months was taken by several ace producers, and those Gu Feng songs are still very popular."
"It's different. In the past few months, there weren't so many high-quality songs. This time, there are many senior producers among the songs, and even several aces are among the top ten!"
"So, Ting Yu's influence has passed?"
"Haha, are these people really that sneaky??"
Although they found these people a bit outrageous, being able to listen to high-quality Gu Feng songs.
Netizens were very happy.
